Everyone has questions they want answers to and should try to get answered.  Why and I here and what should I be doing.  The Bible has answers to these questions and others.

In Joshua chapter 1 Joshua is taking over from Moses as the leader of the Israelites.  God gives him some instructions to be a great leader.  However, the advice God gives to him is not what you would hear in leadership seminars today in this world.  It's pretty basic.  Be holy and obedient.  Let's see why this makes all the difference.

Joshua chapter one describes the land that the Israelites will one day occupy.  Yet, to my knowledge, they never occupied all this territory.  Why?  Was it a failure on the part of God or the people or something else?  Let's explore.

Why do we sing?  We sing for lots of reasons and singing is vital to our worship.  Let's explore why.

started a short series about thanksgiving:   Being thankful for things we usually do not think about being thankful for.  November 9 was was this:  Be thankful that Jesus can redeem our suffering.  November 16 learned to be thankful that Jesus redeems our mistakes.  Today we talk about being thankful that Jesus teaches us about our diet.  We are what we eat and each week we have the honor of joining Jesus at his table.  A table he asked us to come to and that is the best food you will have all week.

This morning I want us to reflect on being thankful that God works in our failures.  With God, our failures do not have to be the final word on our lives.  God can redeem our suffering and he can redeem our failures as well.
